I've got $1200 GC Credit at Amazon. Need a gaming laptop... need help.

I need two things in the laptop: a good GPU, and 2 HD Drive bays.

I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Anybody have any recommendations? Is it possible to get a decent gaming rig at Amazon at that price?

(*I'd be willing to up the prices 100-200 if it got me where I needed to go, but I'd rather not if I can get away with it.)

Thanks!
 
This is the go-to gaming laptop right now it seems-

Keep in mind- it does not come with an optical drive. Instead, it has a second nvidia card (included) in the ultrabay. You can buy a hd caddy for the bay if you'd like, however then you lose the second graphics card.

If you don't need the quad core, you'll save a lot of money-

I have a Dell L702X that I like, however I don't think you can get that on Amazon. It has a 550M (so, way less power than the above laptop, but still formidable). 2 HD caddies and a DVD drive.



A great way to shop for this purchase is to get the "Newzon" extension for your browser, then search newegg for the laptop you want. Then just click the newzon button and it will find it on amazon for you.

Pity it doesn't work the other direction as well.

At least from what I can see at NotebookCheck.net, he would certainly need the second graphics card to put it at a competent level. It's certainly better-priced than the GTX670M option (+$200), which is also old-tech (Fermi-based) as the GTX670MX is based on the current-generation Kepler.
